Choriambic Metered Quatrain
A chapter in the book Picture Poems
Birdhouse
by Treischel
|
This birdhouse was at a friend's house standing alone in a field a couple yards from the house. Needs some paint. I thought it looked like a rundown tenant for birds, so I took this picture.
This poem is a single abab rhymed quatrain but written in an unusual meter not often used. It is Choriambic. While an iambic meter has a two syllable foot of a short- long
accent, the choriambic is a four syllable foot having a long-short-short-long accent. So, my poem has two choriambic feet per line of eight syllables. For example:
Iambic: The bird is in the bush
Choriambic: What do I see, birds in the bush.
